A week later ....

"Finally got my work done." I let out a long sigh, stretching in the chair as I looked over at Emma's desk. She was still struggling with her computer, looking very focused and couldn't be bothered.

"Where are you going anyway?" Cody turned his chair to face me.

This morning, when I finished the meeting, I asked Rory for permission to be able to leave first, with in exchange I had to finish my work quickly. And I finally did it. Two hours before normal dismissal time. Not too bad.

"I have an appointment to visit someone," I replied as I tidied up my things.

"Your family?" asked Lukas suddenly.

I thought for a moment. Were they my family? "You could say that," I replied hesitantly.

Lukas just nodded, and I assumed he had ended our brief conversation. My bag was tidy and I was ready to go. "I'm going home first. Happy Thanksgiving!"

"Happy Thanksgiving!" replied Emma, suddenly sounding excited.

"You too!" Cody and Lukas replied simultaneously. And a few other people.

  • Revenge in Silk   Chapter 18. We have to share a bed?

    I didn't realize when I actually fell asleep until River tapped me lightly on the arm. "Hey, wake up. We're here."My eyes blinked for a moment. The sound of the car door closing brought me fully awake. I looked forward. Benjamin was no longer behind the wheel. My eyes looked around, the car stopped in front of the yard of a magnificent house with a classic design. The soft light from the garden lamps illuminated the yard, giving the house an elegant feel. The shady trees around it give a beautiful impression and add to the beauty of the environment. The house didn't look too big, but the grandeur of the building was reflected in the carefully chosen architectural details."I think I only closed my eyes for two minutes," I yawned, then stretched without caring about River's presence near me. The man gave me a small smile, then leaned in to adjust my hair, which inevitably made me reflexively throw my head back. His hand movements stopped in mid-air, but he tried to disguise it by smo

  • Revenge in Silk   Chapter 19. Are you ready to face Evan?

    The next day, when I woke up, River was no longer in bed. I sat up and stretched while yawning widely. For about a minute, I stared blankly at the half-open window, quickly replaying yesterday's events from morning to night.The bathroom door opened, making me turn my head to the source of the sound. River came out of there with only a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair, which was usually neatly combed back, looked messy and wet this time. And sexy. Oh, my goodness!"Hi," I greeted, suddenly feeling silly. He rubbed his feet on the mat while looking at me with nonchalance. "Take a shower, then we will go downstairs together. I think Evan's here."I got out of bed when he had disappeared into the walk in closet. Before going to the bathroom, I poured half a glass of water from the pitcher on the table near the sofa and drank it all down.The smell of River's soap and shampoo greeted me as I entered the bathroom. The warm steam wrapped around me, feeling cozy and pleasant.A few

  • Revenge in Silk   Chapter 20. He loves you very much

    Later that evening, River and I watched a soccer game on television. Both our bodies were wrapped in a thin white blanket. He leaned against the back of the sofa, while I leaned against his chest, feeling his left hand curl across my back.I shifted my body to get closer to River when I saw Evan coming down from upstairs. River's left hand went up to my head, rubbing it gently and-seemingly-affectionately. From the tail of my eyes I could see Evan walking past the television room, but I deliberately didn't look at him at all and pretended to focus on watching the television."Is it normal for people to watch soccer while cuddled up in a blanket like this?" River murmured after a moment, confident that Evan was no longer within earshot."I don't know," I replied in a whisper as well, staring blankly at the big screen in front of us that showed two presenters - dressed in navy suits with red and white striped ties - talking about something I didn't understand, referring to soccer terms.

    "Are you sure you want to do this?" asked River, hopefully for the last time. I'm sure he didn't really expect me to think when he asked that with his lips still brushing the tip of mine. And from the hardness of the bulge I felt under my ass, River clearly wanted this to end the way Sharon wanted it to. The heat in my body was becoming excruciating. My hands stopped moving on the buttons of his shirt in desperation. "We'll both die if we don't," I replied, then captured River's lips again. My hands quickly remove his shirt, pausing our kiss and allowing River to pull off my sweatshirt as well. His lips go to my neck, while his hands easily remove my bra and toss it carelessly to the floor. "I don't have a condom." River's face suddenly turns frantic, as if he just realized he's missing one ear. "I took a pill," I replied, then grabbed his lips again. Our kisses became deeper and deeper, more demanding, leading us to the brink of passion. River growled as my body writhed and I fel

  • Revenge in Silk   Chapter 22. You're still hot

    River pulled out his cock, letting me unwind for a few seconds. His gaze was still filled with a haze of passion, watching me as I breathed heavily. "You're still hard," I said languidly. River nodded as languidly as I. He then lowered his head, nuzzling my neck before landing a kiss there. "Let me do what I want." "Go ahead," I whispered, pulling him closer to kiss those British lips again. It didn't take long for River to arouse me again. River's hands traced over both of mine, then joined them together and pressed them together until they were tied to the headboard. River's lips traveled down to my chin, giving a light peck there, then down to my chest. His face looked up for a second, meeting my eyes that cried out in desperation. I closed my eyes, enjoying the tickle of his tongue playing with my nipples. He kissed it gently, sometimes giving it a little bite, and always making me sigh in displeasure. A moan escapes my lips, but not as loud as before. River pulled his body u

  • Revenge in Silk   Chapter 23. My kiss marks are visible

    That morning was the most agonizing shower I've ever had in my life. Every time I touched every inch of my body, it was as if I could feel River's touch there too, just like last night when his hands and lips brushed over my body. Every time I close my eyes as the shower hits my face, a visual of River also pops into my head.As I stepped out of the shower, I wrapped a towel around myself and headed to walk-in closet to get dressed. I couldn't help but wonder what River was thinking about. Had we crossed a line? Was this just a one-time thing, or would it change the dynamic between us?I found River in the kitchen, pouring himself a cup of coffee. He looked up when he heard me enter and gave me a small smile.Sharon also appeared later. She smiled very broadly at me. "I hope you slept well," she said, full of meaning. Then her eyes winked mischievously."Mom," River warned her mother. "We have talked about this earlier.”"Sharon, you really are full of surprises," I said, whether I me

    "People are filling up the comment section about River Lynch on our social media," Cody said from his desk. I immediately turned to him, intrigued by what he was saying.Lukas seemed to be as well because he immediately left the clothes rack and approached Cody without further ado. "Let me see!" he said, popping his head up to take a look at Cody's phone screen, which had been scrolling down for quite some time, both of them seemingly reading comments—perhaps on a post about the launch of this year's November issue of Pamela Magazine. "Those girls are horrible." Lukas shuddered, but continued reading.Out of curiosity, I went to Pamela Magazine's social media accounts, reading the comments on the last post.*I didn't expect my favorite perfume to be created by such a handsome man!I can see why it's called Séduisant.Is he single?

  • Revenge in Silk   Chapter 25. Please allow me to want you

    "I wonder about the condition of the kitchen in your apartment." River suddenly said without looking at me. I sat on a bar stool, leaning against the counter and looking at River who was preparing ravioli. He was wearing a plain white T-shirt that was quite thin, making his shoulder blades pop out when his hands made certain movements. A black apron hugged his body from the front. I've never thought of wanting to be an apron before. "Pretty neat, of course." Because there was almost never any activity in there... if you don't count having sex as one of the common activities in the kitchen. "I'll check it myself sometime," he said, and then his hand movements stopped for a moment. I'm sure he didn't expect those words to come out of his mouth. Don't check my kitchen. Don't come into my house. Don't say things that seem to suggest that our relationship is that of a normal couple. We're not even a couple. We're just two people who have a common goal and work together to make it happe

  • Revenge in Silk   Epilogue

    Looking in the mirror in the bridal room in my wedding dress, I repeatedly exhaled in nervously. I was a picture of pure joy, my cheeks flushed with a rosy glow and my eyes sparkling with love. I couldn't help but smile at my reflection, knowing that in a few hours, I would stand before River and make a promise to love him for the rest of my life. Addy entered the room, her eyes wide with excitement. "Are you ready?" she asked, helping me fasten the remaining buttons of my dress. I took a deep breath and nodded. "As ready as I'll ever be." The anticipation of the ceremony was all-consuming, yet I knew that everything was going to be perfect. As we walked down the aisle, there were sounds of people gasping and rejoicing. My little girl and Danielle (Emma's daughter) walked as the flower girl, I couldn't help but feel warmth in my chest when I remembered how excited Shannon was when she heard that I was going to marry River. She was beaming with joy, her tiny hands holding the bouq

    Lost in my thoughts, I didn't hear the sound of footsteps approaching until a voice broke through my ear. "Hello, love," he whispered as his arms wrapped around my stomach. "River ...." My voice was a sigh when I felt his lips kissing my neck. "Let's continue where we left off, shall we?" he teased me, his hands reaching into my pajamas. I leaned back into his embrace, feeling the warmth of his body against mine. The desire that had simmered between us earlier reignited with a fierce intensity, sending sparks flying through my veins. His touch was electric, igniting a fire within me that threatened to consume everything in its path. I turned in his arms, capturing his lips with mine in a passionate kiss that spoke volumes of unspoken promises and longing. As we kissed, the warmth of his hands traveled down to the waistband of my pajamas. He pulled it aside slowly, his fingers tracing the curve of my hip. I could feel the heat of his breath on my skin, sending shivers down my spine.

  • Revenge in Silk   Chapter 62. I won't leave you again

    A few months later, River brought Shannon and me back to Manhattan. Meanwhile, Addy stayed in Chicago. She said she wanted to take her relationship with Shawn more seriously. And after I left with Shannon, Addy invited Shawn to live in the house with her. I gave my half of the rights to the house to Addy for free, more or less as a token of my gratitude for what she had sacrificed for me. I knew it couldn't make up for her help, but at least I felt like my burden was lessened. Shawn was not a typical man, but still he was very kind and considerate. I knew Addy would be safe with him. The thought of my best friend starting a new chapter in her life brought a smile to my face as I watched her wave goodbye to us from the porch. As for River, the past few months had been a whirlwind of emotions and adjustments as he stepped into his role as a father. Watching him bond with Shannon filled my heart with a warmth I hadn't felt in years. It was like witnessing a piece of my past come to lif

    His arms enveloped me in a tight embrace, the familiar scent of his cologne bringing back a flood of memories. We clung to each other, seeking solace in the comfort of each other’s presence after all these years apart. The carnival noises faded into the background as we held onto each other, two souls reunited by fate and the passage of time.“Mia, maybe it's too late,” he said softly in my shoulder, “and I'm very sorry for never saying it, but believe me; whether it was then, when you disappeared, until this moment; believe me that I never stopped loving you.”As River's words lingered in the air, a sense of peace washed over me. The tumult of emotions that had consumed me for years seemed to quiet down in that moment. His confession, filled with regret and love, reached deep into my heart, stirring feelings I had long thought buried. I gazed into his eyes, seeing the sincerity and vulnerability laid bare before me.Those words, the words that I wanted to hear three years ago, that R

  • Revenge in Silk   Chapter 60. Don't you understand, Mia?

    "River ...." My voice trembled at the mention of that name, a name I still sometimes say in my unconscious.I couldn't think straight, my gaze shifted to the distance, Addy was standing there frozen. Both of her hands were holding the popcorn bucket.And just as my words were about to come out of my mouth, a voice from below broke our focus. "Mommy, why are you crying?"Shannon's innocent question pierced through the tension in the air, grounding me back to reality. I quickly wiped away my tears and crouched down to her eye level, forcing a smile on my face."It's nothing, sweetheart. Mommy's just really happy to see you safe," I replied, my voice quivering slightly as I gathered her in my arms once more.Addy finally snapped out of her daze and came over to where we were, her eyes flitting between Shannon, River, and me with a mixture of confusion and realization."River Lynch," Addy breathed out his name in disbelief, her gaze narrowing as she took in the scene before her. "What are

    Hearing Addy's words, for some reason I was reminded of what happened three years ago.**About a week into my stay in Chicago, I was walking home after a cooking class. I saw a stand on the side of the road selling various magazines. There was something in me that drove me to pull up to that stand, maybe I would find something I was looking for. And when I saw a few stacks of magazines with PAMELA written on them with covers I'd never seen before. Without thinking, I bought them right away.When I got home, I couldn't wait to open it, turning the pages one by one, unconsciously shedding tears because of my longing for some of the names written there: Rory Burnett, Emma Freud, Lukas Cheadle, Cody Vargaz, and even my own name that was still written there as Editor of the Feature Section. And there was one more name that I secretly missed, a name printed quite large on one of the special pages: River Lynch and His Beloved Woman! That's what it says.And I opened that special page, eight

    "Who's ready to ride the merry-go-round tonight?!" Addy exclaimed excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation as she clapped her hands together. I couldn't help but smile at her infectious energy, knowing that she was just as excited as Shannon for our evening plans.The carnival had rolled into town, its vibrant lights illuminating the night sky. We had been waiting for this day for weeks, and now it was finally here.My daughter's eyes widened with excitement as she clapped her hands, her face lighting up at the mention of the merry-go-round. "Me! Me!" she squealed, bouncing up and down in my arms.I chuckled at her eagerness, feeling a warmth in my chest at the sight of her joy. Setting her down gently, I took her hand in mine as we followed Addy towards the carnival grounds.The carnival grounds were alive with the sounds of laughter and music, the air filled with the scent of cotton candy and popcorn. The colorful lights from the rides danced across Shannon's face, highlighti

  • Revenge in Silk   57. Hello, little flower

    Three years later …The sound of laughter filled the air as Addy played peek-a-boo with my daughter in the living room. I smiled from the kitchen at the sound of their voices. A week after moving to Chicago, I decided to sign up for a cooking class for the good of the three of us, considering Addy and the kitchen were also eternal enemies. Other than that, my other goal was to find something to do, so that I wouldn't dwell in sadness for too long.As I dried my hands on a towel, I took a moment to look around our new home. It was a cozy, three-bedroom house with a small backyard, perfect for us. I couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia, thinking about the life we had left behind. Yet, I knew that this was the path we had chosen, and I wanted to make sure that it was the best one possible for my daughter.I really had left everything behind. I changed all my contacts that I could reach, changed my job, and left friends behind to start a whole new life. But one thing remained consta
